Unable to LOGOUT or check or change username and password -how to set username/password? | Wordpress Support | Forum Archive

My xcloner version is 3.1.1 and my Wordpress version is 3.9 though the problems were also present under Wordpress 3.8.3 

I cloned a site with xcloner and initially xcloner said it could not connect to the database.

I deactivated it and reloaded the plugin - the database connection problem was resolved but backups did not complete successfully..

So I deactivated and then deleted it before installing afresh.

However although backups seem to work there is no authentication request when I call xcloner from Wordpress.

The xcloner interface simply loads without asking for a user name and password.

If I click the logout button it seems to have no effect because when I restart xcloner I am straight back into the interfaces without any authentication request.

I do not see any option to administer username and password as is indicated in the documentation

However I have another site with xcloner that is correctly asking for username and password on xcloner load.  

This site also does NOT show the authentication tab in the Administration-> Configuration screen.

If I inspect the xcloner configuration page source I can see that the Authentication tab has been commented out as follows

<!--<li><a href="#tabs-3">Authentication</a></li>-->

(I hope that displays correctly in this post.)

I am aware that docs say password can be reset by adding

$_CONFIG["jcpass"] =  md5("new_password")

just before the end of the xcloner config php file

but if I did this I would not be sure what the username was to go with that passsword!

Before cloning I had set a unique username and password for xcloner

I also trried to look in the database to see if I could see where xcloner username and password were stored but could not easily find them

Can any one help me by explaining:

a) how can I reset my username and password for xcloner using the plugin interface

OR

b) If I use the  $_CONFIG["jcpass"] =  md5("new_password")  then how do I know  what my admin username is

OR

c) is it possible to change xcloner username and password directly in the database and if so then how - what table and fields and values do I need edit.

Thansk in advance for any assistance.
